only to be with you

we look like two molecules

of hydrogen;

we have similar valences

breathing same incantations

between two kisses

fastened in a knot with all

basic water's characteristics, —

odorless, colorless, insipid,

and invisible, enough

for our love to not be seen

in all we have and

all that holds us to be,

like a liquid mass in our senses

reflecting desires to all places,

i, only to be with you,

you, only to be with me
